Retail sales associate appeared in 913 role matches, stock associate in 502 and cashier in 442. For someone trying to fit work around classes or a second job, the difference between the day shift and the night shift can matter more than the job title.

The pay filter can save a lot of reading. It also changes which employers you see. A shop that puts an hourly rate in a structured field is easy to compare; another may put it only in the description. If the first search is thin, try the same neighbourhood without the pay filter and look for the words “per hour” in the original ads.

Why the average was $23.19 but the middle was $19

Of all 11,165 ads, 1,216 supplied employer pay with a recognized currency and period, about 10.9%. The hourly comparison is narrower. It uses the 1,048 listings with a usable Canadian hourly minimum. Their average was $23.19. When those starting amounts were lined up in order, the midpoint was $19. Higher rates can pull the average up.

How many hours will you actually get at that rate? At $19 an hour, a 12-hour week would pay $228 before deductions. A 20-hour week would pay $380. Ask whether the weekly hours are guaranteed or vary with the schedule.

Would a closer search change your shortlist?

If your trip starts in Brampton or Milton, starting from downtown Toronto can leave a useful opening outside the search circle. The same evening, a 25 km search centred on Brampton returned 5,280 part-time ads from 708 employer profiles. Milton returned 5,090 from 674. In both searches the median Canadian hourly minimum was $19. Brampton’s sample contained 461 hourly rates and Milton’s had 432.

Moving the search centre changed the choice of workplaces without changing the midpoint in these samples. Nearby circles overlap, so adding the three totals would count some ads twice. Use the circle centred on where you actually travel from. Compare Brampton part-time jobs and Milton part-time jobs.

For an evening cashier opening, check the exact branch and ask how late the closing shift normally runs. For a stock role, find out whether receiving starts before the first bus. Two openings with the same hourly rate can produce very different weeks.

Common questions

How much of the Toronto search did the three largest employer profiles represent?

Together they had 2,673 listings, 23.9% of the 11,165 in the snapshot. The other profiles accounted for 8,492.

Is $23.19 the typical starting rate at Shoppers Drug Mart?

The $23.19 average covers hourly minimums across employers. The snapshot does not establish a rate for an individual store or employer.

Can I use $19 to compare a salaried posting?

First find the salary period and expected paid hours. This report keeps the 56 comparable Canadian annual minimums separate from the 1,048 hourly ones.

How many of the listings were on-site?

The snapshot classified 11,016 as on-site and 148 as hybrid. One had no classification. Check the employer’s description for the actual arrangement.

Does each listing represent one person hired?

One listing can recruit several people at one or more locations. The snapshot counts advertisements and cannot tell us how many people started work.
